1. Getting the culture right
Read a number of available ex-offender employment guides
There are now a number of great guides available which can help you navigate the initial steps of employing someone with a criminal conviction.
What does success look like?
You have started by reading Offploy's guide
You have read at least one other available online guide
You have an idea of the areas identified in the guides which will be of most use to you in taking your first steps
How would Offploy do it?
Of course we would recommend starting with our own guide
Have a look at the UK Government's guide here - Employing prisoners and ex-offenders - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
Review a number of other free guides such as - Recruiting, employing and retaining people with convictions - CIPD Trust or Employing Someone With a Criminal Record | Nacro and Hiring With Conviction | Working Chance
